Pontypool Roots

A Memory of Pontypool.

My mother was from Pontypool and an uncle and aunt lived at 81 Osborne Road.  My great grandparents lived at 'Coynant' (by the old Griffin Press building) and my grandparents at nearby Gwynfa (now flats). Towards Pontnewynydd (opposite side), is Balmond Terrace, named after my great grandfather, John Balmond.
